Oakley Meta Vanguard — the performance AI glasses: a wraparound Oakley shield with a centre-mounted Meta camera, open-ear audio and Garmin/Strava integration, fitted by the optometrists and dispensing opticians at Rose Optometry, Hamilton.

Built for the training log.

Vanguard is the Oakley Meta for running, cycling, golf and snow. The camera sits on the bridge so it films what you see, the Prizm shield handles the light, and the glasses talk to your Garmin and Strava so your ride and your footage line up.

What they do

• 12 MP camera with a 122° wide field of view, centred on the bridge, for 3K video and photos of exactly what you're looking at
• Open-ear speakers tuned for wind and speed — louder than Ray-Ban Meta, so you still hear the road
• Five-microphone array and Meta AI — ask for your pace, heart rate or the next turn without touching anything
• Garmin and Strava integration — auto-capture highlights during a workout and overlay your stats on the clip
• Up to 9 hours of typical use on a charge (around 6 hours continuous music), up to 36 more hours from the case
• IP67 — dust-tight and resistant to sweat, rain and a dunk; the toughest rating in the Meta range
• Oakley Prizm shield lenses — Road, 24K, Black, Sapphire, Rose Gold and Transitions Ember — with a three-size nose pad set for fit

Colours and lenses

Choose your frame and Prizm lens above. Prizm Road is tuned for tarmac and trail contrast; Prizm 24K, Black, Sapphire and Rose Gold are mirrored sun lenses for bright days; Prizm Transitions Ember adapts from light to dark for dawn starts and changing conditions.

Prescription

Vanguard is a single-piece shield and is not prescription-glazeable. If you need your script in camera glasses, look at Oakley Meta HSTN or the Ray-Ban Meta range — our optometrists will help you choose.

What's included, and what costs extra

The price shown covers the glasses with the lens shown, the charging case, the cable and the nose pad set. Nothing else is required.

Why buy them from an optometrist

These aren't an ordinary pair of sunglasses, and they shouldn't be posted out like a phone case. The electronics sit in the temples, the weight sits differently on your face, and the fit decides whether the open-ear audio and the camera framing actually work for you.

• Fitted, adjusted and set up with you in practice by optometrists and dispensing opticians
